This is probably very simple but for the life of me I can not figure it out. How do I get a pic to show on the entire screen? Example; when choosing a pic in the pic folder the pic only show on the bottom half of the screen and the Verizon logo occupies the top 1/3 of the screen. How do you do this?

Do this: go to Options > status, and see what your FILE FREE reads. Post that number on here, then do a battery pull reboot of the phone and re-check your FILE FREE, and post that. Then check your pictures and see if they load fully.
